The Blade Dive || Episode 38 || Pat Morgan

The Blade Dive

The Blade Dive Episode 38 - We are joined by the man who has zero stage fright and thrives on the mic when the music is loud and the vibes are elevated. All jokes aside, Pat Morgan is in the Virtual Booth and we’re talking about all things him. Morgan is currently the Marketing & Brand Manager for Mountain Creek, New Jersey and is responsible for curating ideas that support his brand and benefit the snow industry as a whole. Now before you say “WTF”, as an industry that sells an experience, name the department that seldom interacts with Mountain Operations… and which department always has ideas they’d like to make happen…. You get my point…! Morgan is one of the few dudes that gets it and can help Marketing worlds speak the operations language. Yes, we open that can of worms!
Pat Morgan is originally from Ellicottville, New York, grew up riding Holiday Valley, New York and landed a job washing dishes at 15 years of age. Morgan also worked as a Snowboard Instructor at HoliMont, New York. Morgan’s personal investment in the snow industry culture is best described as “time well spent”. He has landed jobs at Red Bull, Forum Snowboards, Big Boulder, Pennsylvania and as afore mentioned, currently is at Mountain Creek, New Jersey….all I might add, while being authentic and being himself.
Episode 38 is a fun chat! It is really an effort to cross pollinate and expand on previous conversations. I’d never met Pat Morgan until we connected to create this episode. We discuss the Marketing language and whether Mountain Operations teams will ever be able to speak a language that seems to have an endless amount of dialects. We unpack what the core ideals of the snow industry culture needs to thrive. We talk about what it’s like to have something you’ve built be stripped from you. We dive into having boots on the ground and that this is the best way to effectively communicate as well as empathize with co workers, especially in this digital world we live in now, with emailing, text messaging, Zoom and the likes!
Enjoy! And if you’re in the machine… Turn up the volume!
